Sunshine on My Shoulders....makes me happy!

Ahhh yes, living on the coast. It sure is grand. That is until some tropical system comes by and wipes you out or floods you. Granted we need the rain, but I think that it has been raining for 2 weeks! Geez. Great time to be in class or in lab, instead of hanging at the beach :-)

I have now met with all of my classes at least once this semester. I have a great group! My seniors are becoming independent in the lab and learning how to become good public speakers! My freshmen, well, they are learning the ropes...some are having a smoother transition than others. But, overall I think that they will soon beging to embrace their new found freedom and responsibility.

So, as you are doing your homework by candle light tonight, listening to the wind and the rain...don't fret about the weather, you cannot control it. Focus on things you can control--like YOUR HABITS and YOUR GRADES. Its the beginning of the semester and what you make of it is up to you!
